Cornerstone OnDemand has long been a key player in the Learning & Development tech landscape. Following a series of strategic acquisitions this year—namely SkyHive for skills and Edcast for learning experience (LXP)—the company is eager to shed its old identity and emerge as a flexible end-to-end platform to manage all things talent and development. At their recent analyst day, Cornerstone outlined plans to leverage their data— including over 1 billion anonymized profiles—to create smarter, more modern talent experiences. However, the true measure of success will be whether their clients are ready for this change.

Workhuman held their annual industry analyst day in Denver alongside their Workhuman Live conference, bringing together curious minds from across HR to learn, network and inspire one another. This year’s event focused on making work better, through technology of course, but also through cultural and leadership evolution. At the heart of this is recognition—far more than a feel good for the business, recognition is poised to bring insight into skills, coaching, performance and more.

With more than 8,400 attendees from 83 countries, this year’s ATD 2025 International Conference & EXPO proved once again why it’s a cornerstone of the learning and development (L&D) calendar. From the buzzing expo hall to thought-provoking keynotes and data-rich sessions, the conference offered a front-row seat to the future of talent development—and the challenges we still need to solve.

Even before AI, we struggled with realizing our full HR transformation potential — making investments that don’t align with our people priorities, letting tech stacks get unwieldy and kill return on investment (ROI), and implementing tech without changing how we work. Mercer’s latest HR Tech Confidence Check explores whether we’re moving the needle on all of it.

Transformation isn’t an option in 2025, nor is it a mandate to be handed down by the business. A new mindset is required to deliver transformation constantly and as a business capability — not as a spigot to be turned on or off but a way of operating, driving innovation, and delivering outcomes.

Artificial intelligence (AI) keeps evolving — and with agentic AI, the digital agents joining our ranks will soon take automation to the next level. Despite slow take-up in HR and mixed reports about the return on investment (ROI), global executives see AI as the top business priority and the biggest potential value driver in 2025. Agentic AI is transforming company systems, processes and the workforce, and HR leaders who don’t prepare will be left behind.
